Exciting news! The Ottawa Dog Park Finder has been entered into a contest with the City of Ottawa!!

To vote, you’ll need to create an account here

Then click here to vote.

My hope is that if we can vote enough to have the Ottawa Dog Park Finder win, the city will see how vital these dog parks are and maybe even create more. 2010 saw many dog parks threaten to be disbanded and because of all of your support, we have managed to either delay, or stop this, but it is my opinion that these dog park deregulations shouldn’t even be entertained. We have so few parks in Ottawa where our dogs can enjoy each other’s company, and I really feel that the exposure in winning this contest will be nothing but great.

So please vote, and tell your friends to vote and together, we can make sure the city of Ottawa knows how important these dog parks are to our wonderful city.

Voting closes January 28th at 5pm.
